SATURDAY 7/14: Boardwalk Gazebo Party with Dancing in the Street
“Applaud the Sun” at the first ever Boardwalk Gazebo Party! It’s the same kind of fun-filled evening as previous Harbor Parties, but in a new location. Stroll the boardwalk, get a cold drink, enjoy some great food, watch the sunset over the beach, and dance in the street to live music by The Waterfront Band!
There will be delicious seafood cooked up by the Cape Charles V.F.D., tasty burgers and dogs prepared by R & D Amusements, and mouthwatering pulled pork barbecue from Billy P’s. Then top it off with a beer or a glass of wine from the Wendell beer truck.
The event is hosted by the Northampton County Chamber of Commerce on Saturday, July 14th from 6-10:00 p.m. at the Boardwalk Gazebo on Bay Avenue in Cape Charles. Admission is $5; kids under 12 are free.
